Brian Dash, Parliamentary Spokesman for the
New Forest Liberal Democrats, paid a visit to the new Hangar
Farm development in Totton this week to check on progress.
The £3 million project, funded by developer's contributions,
lottery heritage funds and investment from the Town, District & County
Council and Totton College, is the biggest single project ever
undertaken by a Parish Council.
When finished, early next year,
it will provide a range of facilities including 8 tennis courts,
a modern children's play area with paddling pool, and a superb
theatre complex and bar facilities.
Town Councillor, Len Harris, Chairman of the Amenities Committee,
was on hand to show Brian how building work is progressing,
along with Town & District Councillors, Alan Weeks and
David Harrison.
The project suffered a major set-back when the original contractor
pulled out half way through, due to financial problems.
Fortunately,
most of the problems have been overcome and the building work
is now on track.
The main barn, with theatre facilities, is
due to open next month for the use of students studying Performance
Art at Totton College.
At the time of the visit, members of
a local dramatic society were also assessing the building,
measuring it up, clearly very excited at the potential for
its future use.
Brian Dash says "I am very impressed. The facilities here
will be of interest to people of all ages and abilities. The
design has ensured that features of the original farm buildings
have been retained. It is a mixture of the old and the new
that will serve the leisure needs of present and future generations".
